In My Own Words
I am a hands-on, highly detailed, creativity driven individual who completes projects with accuracy and in a timely fashion. I am a dedicated worker who takes pride in delivering excellence. I am hungry to improve my skill set and achieve the goals I have set for myself. I am very interested in fashion, art, music,and business management. I currently have a degree in merchandise product development and am eager to prepare and start building a foundation for my future career in the fashion industry. I love the great out doors, spending time with family, friends and my 9 year old pup, Frankie (: during my free time i'm usually doodling, designing my own products, riding my bike, or enjoying a nice craft brew and a good read while listening to Elvis Presley vinyls!
